Summary: THIS IS AN AUGMENTED NOTICE OF AN EX PARTE COMMUNICATION THAT WAS FILED ON JUNE 13, 2005, AND APPEARED IN THE CALENDAR OF JUNE 17, 2005. On June 8, 2005, Scott Blaising, counsel for the California Municipal Utilities Association (CMUA), met with Amy Yip-Kikugawa, advisor to Cmmr. Bohn, Julie Fitch, advisor to Cmmr. Peevey, and David Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Brown, in three separate meetings in San Francisco. For the part of the meeting with David Gamson, also present were Eric Eisenman and Dennis Keane of Pacific Gas and Electric Company. Written material (attached to the notice) was used. Blaising commented that the ALJ `s draft decision (DD) incorrectly addresses the issue of "stand-alone" municipal departing load (MDL) ("load that does not otherwise require the use of transmission or distribution facilities owned by the investor-owned utility"). Blaising indicated that the DD claims that there are policy justifications for treating MDL differently than CGDL in stand-alone situations, however, there are no policy issues implicated by the stand-alone issue. Rather, Blaising observed, Public Utilities Code Section 369 provides a strict, definitional basis for determining stand-alone situations. Blaising also noted that the Commission must treat MDL and CGDL similarly. At the meeting with David Gamson, Blaising also stated that PG&E was precluded from raising, yet again, PG&E's proposal to limit new MDL exemptions for entities named in the PG&E Bypass Report.Filer: California Municipal Utilities AssociationContact: Scott Blaising Phone: (916) 682-9702


Summary: On June 16, 2005, Scott Blaising, counsel for the California Municipal Utilities Association (CMUA), left two separate voicemail messages to David Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Brown, and Julie Fitch, advisor to Cmmr. Peevey. Blaising observed that the ‘agenda copy’ of the ALJ’s draft decision (DD) had been dramatically revised. Blaising referred to the nature of the exemption given to new Municipal Departing Load (MDL) served by publicly owned utilities mentioned in Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s Bypass Report, and expressed concern at the revised DD’s treatment of this issue. Blaising also expressed concern with the revised DD’s treatment of the 80 MW New MDL exemption.Filer: California Municipal Utilities AssociationContact: Scott Blaising Phone: (916) 682-9702


Summary: LATE FILED. On June 14, 2005, Susan Berlin, counsel for the Turlock Irrigation District (Turlock), met with Julie Fitch, advisor to Cmmr. Peevey, in San Francisco. Also present was Gregg Wheatland, counsel for the City of Hercules (City). Berlin explained that both Turlock and the City had sent letters to the Commission requesting that an error in D04-11-014 be corrected. Berlin indicated that the decision should clarify that the 80 MW new load exception is available to all entities not named in the bypass report, rather than those that only have new, but no transferred, load. Wheatland discussed


the authority granted in Resolution A-4661. Wheatland stressed that correcting the omission would in no way impact the already established 80 MW exemption granted in D04-11-014, as modified by D04-12-059. Berlin and Wheatland explained the nature of the error which would not increase the total megawatts available for new load exemption, but rather would only address the entities legitimately eligible to apply for the exemption on behalf of their new load customers. Berlin and Wheatland disputed Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s mischaracterization of the municipal parties as relitigating matters that had already been settled.Filer: Turlock Irrigation District and City of HerculesContact: Soutodeh Ahmadieh Phone: (408) 288-2080
